Haywood Farmers Market moves indoors for November

The Historic Haywood Farmers market will move indoors starting this weekend, with Saturday’s market held from 8 a.m. until noon at the Shelton Barn House in Waynesville, just in time to get out of the snow. The site is just above the HART theater parking lot where the market is held during summer and fall months.

This year’s indoor lineup will feature a mix of vendors selling fall greens, roots, vegetable jams, jellies, pickles, scones and cracker mixes. Also seafood will be available each Saturday as well and customers can special order cakes and breads. The market will run through Dec. 8 and remain open Nov. 24.

The Jackson County Farmers Market in Sylva will also move indoors starting this weekend, to the Community Table building near the playground.

Reading Room

So, Scout (Jean Louise) comes back home to Maycomb — where “everyone is either kin or almost kin”— at age 26 and after being “away” and living in New York City for several years. Sixteen years have gone by since we last heard from her in the pages of To Kill a Mockingbird, and the Maycomb she comes home to isn’t the same Maycomb we know from the 1960 novel.

This Must Be the Place

For the better part of the last decade, my life during the summer was music festivals. From Maine to California, Michigan to Arkansas, I was there, in an endless crowd, cheering on the greatest musicians of our time. In those innumerable moments, I felt more alive, at home, and at peace, than anywhere else in the world.
